Interesting video, thanks. It made me think that perhaps we need to start a petition that calls for prohibiting police who are working a 2nd job for a non-government agency from providing any type of security on public property. They should be limited to providing that security on private property owned by the entity paying for the service, and not one inch over the boundary into public space.

OUR government caught RED-HANDED trying to cover up the brutalizing of our fellow citizens!!

This is the worst thing I've seen yet. I suppose we should just shut up about the fact that we are getting shot at, and clubbed!

EVERYONE spam this shameful cover up attempt to media outlets! The Drudge Report is covered. I'm going there right now and demand they run this story of tyranny caught RED-HANDED.

The government SUPPORTS these assaults on citizens, or they wouldn't be trying to shield them from view!

What will you do, now that your government retains the right to ASSAULT you?

Trolls are cowards who can't pick on someone their own size. Kids living in tents they'll pick on. But they'll cower before tyranny!

most of my experiences with the NYPD have been professional and sometimes jovial. And then the next march gets attacked. While I may not TRUST the police, I certainly don't want to fuck them.

Yes, but WHO made this request? Why were they instructed to do it? WHO runs the White House campaign against U.S. citizens in OWS? Why??

For those few who aren't yet persuaded to join OWS, this should do it. Even for the trolls.

OUR government can't apologize or compensate victims. It DOES try to restrict your right to know that your fellow citizens are being brutalized.

It's CLEAR NOW that they will try to abuse you at every step!

This Movement started out being tired of financial policies that let big corporations run each other into the ground and ask for a 700 Billion $ bailout and then give each other bonuses. Now to you or me it seems like that would be pretty bad practice to give someone a bonus when they have well F*&ked up so bad the heart beat of our whole planet briefly stopped. Well to everyone in the Financial world this makes perfect sense bonuses help keep companies "competitive" Bonuses ensure that your top "Talent" doesn't leave to an overseas competitor. Wall street refuses to acknowledge that for the last 30 years or so a small but terribly corrupt few have exploited any and all they could, Madoff comes to mind of this ilk. I say the onus is on YOU wall street those of you privy to such information expose these greedy pricks. Do not let the issue get confused WE don't want your blood money take your worthless PAPER and wipe your rich ass with it. I would love to see towns and cities and states make their own money backed by a reserve of gold or silver. Do it amongst yourselves any who read this I must stress WE can make change happen by working together. Everyone says this but then they don't explain how you can make a difference. TRADE yes I Know! So radical but if we start to view that worthless paper for what it is We can begin to free ourselves of our dependence on it. I say learn to make things trade your skill to your neighbor for other things that you may need. People this is important cause the government cannot tax you based on your blood, sweat and tears or on the precious metal you trade. To the government let them have ALL the worthless paper they want reduce your dependence on cash or credit these are only tools to get you into more and more debt. At the end of the day it falls to us to stop giving them every advantage.

I say again in closing that there must be some among those dirty greedy bastards who are chafing under the rule of such tyrants. To you I say now is your last chance you could be the among the Great names written in history by exposing some documents whatever it is you can . I can say us other 99% of people would hail you a Hero.

Hopefully we won't go to nutty on this, like the people who see things in the 9/11 footage that aren't there.

The Bureau has primary jurisdiction on local corruption including police, judges, mayors and other officials. There is a low-odds almost unbelievable chance that these incidents are at the point of indictments.

That being said, the odds are 99:1 that any such investigation is an excuse to protect the blues.

---- There are dozens of images and video linked here ----

We have a provocateur incite-to-riot incident in Washington DC where one of the perps admitted to his participation in an online blog. No arrest, no grand jury action, nothing.

Supposedly left-center sites have been going all out to deny that rightie crimes are being instigated against Occupy demonstrators.

Same as denying that rightie-paid shills are the cause of the most of follow-the-talking-point political blog unpleasantness.
